Effective Tips on How to Choose a Bed Frame

We all love to have a deep slumber on a daily basis. We cannot go about our days without a deep, fulfilling sleep.

We need to understand that to get the best quality sleep, we must choose the right base for it. The correct form of bed frame is necessary to provide the comfortable sleep an individual requires.

So, how exactly can a person choose what bed frame to buy? Many factors will influence this decision.

1. What are the Different Types of Bed Frames?

You will be surprised to know various bed frame types are available. Let us give you a gist of it. 

1.1. Wooden Bed Frame

These were the most commonly used in the olden times and are still prominently used today. Woods like oak, mahogany, ash, and others are utilized to make the wooden bed frame.

1.2. Metal Bed Frames

Metal Bed Frames are used widely as well. The benefit of using metal bed frames is that they are long-lasting and quite strong. Moreover, you will not have to spend as much on maintenance as you would have to do with the other beds.

1.3. Diwan Bed Frames

This one provides a very solid bottom, and this option is also economical. You can store your clothes in the drawers that are fixated in the diwan beds.

These beds might be slightly smaller in structure, but overall, they are an amazing option if you want to feel comfortable and compress space.

1.4. Fabric Bed Frames

These kinds of bed frames are purely aesthetic and make your bedroom appear much more exquisite than it already is.

The only con is that you might need to spend a little more on maintenance; the fabric will deteriorate after a while and require regular follow-ups.

2. How Much Will You Spend on Your New Bed Frame?

A wide range of prices can be applied to different bed frames.

The starting price is usually different from place to place and highly variable depending on the material used for the bed frame. The area of sale also determines the price. By this, we mean that what costs around $250 in Texas might be $800 in New York.

You need to make a planned budget for how much you want to spend on a new bed frame. Compare it with the other bed frames from different stores until you get the one that fits your budget and taste.

3. How to Choose a Bed Frame for Your Guest Room or Kids’ Room?

Most of us are fond of our kids; their comfort is our priority. The beds need to be taken care of to ensure they are comfortable in their bedrooms.

Similarly, we know that guests are, at some point, very important to us, and we do not leave any stone unturned in providing the best service to them. The Guest Room is no exception.

Cleanliness, hygiene, room aesthetics, comfort, and everything else must be handled in both these cases.

3.1. Consider the Height of the Bed Frames

Children (toddlers specifically) are prone to falling from the bed, which can, in turn, lead to injuries. So, when choosing a bed for your little one, be very careful about the height of the bed.

Ensure the child’s bed is 12-15 inches high from the ground. This will ensure the child is safe from the floor and can place their foot down easily.

In rare cases, suppose the child does fall off the bed; the impact won’t be huge as the distance from the bed to the floor reduces the intensity of the hit.

3.2. Pick the Right Bed Frame for Your Guests

Guests, relatives, or friends can be quite fickle during sleep. Have you encountered those types of people in your house? If so, you should consider checking your bed frame.

The bed frame you choose for your guests should be wide and big enough to fit them. Comfort is the utmost important thing, so don’t let your guests sleep on a low or squeaky bed.

Ensure your bed frame aligns with the bedroom aesthetic(we will elaborate on this further). Ensure the corners of the bed frame and the paint/fabric are neat.

4. How Do You Pick a Bed Frame That Matches Your Interior Design?

First of all, you need to ask yourself what you want. Visualize what kind of aesthetic you would like the bedroom to have.

For example, with tiles that resemble wooden furnishings, a fabric bed frame wouldn’t look good, would it? It would be best to go for something made of wood with a pretty headboard.

Or ponder this: this bedroom has a dimly lit, white-painted, marble tile floor and a royal wooden bed frame. Sounds odd? Because it is.

4.1. Colour Theme of the Bedroom

First, you have to think about the colour of your room. Consider all the factors and create a brilliant, detailed colour theme. Compare the colours with one another, and then make sure you have the perfect colour theme.

4.2. Bedroom Aesthetic

Your bedroom aesthetic will have much to do when deciding what kind of bedframe you must purchase.

A dark, emo bedroom would need a black leather bed frame.

A pink and rose gold painted combination would require a white metal bed to pair with it.

These are just two examples of what it is like to create a bedroom aesthetic. Ultimately, the choice is yours!

5. Choose Your Ideal Bed Base Style

Now that we’ve discussed so much in depth in the top part of this article, it is very obvious that you need to be the prime decision-maker. Your ideal bed base style is the most crucial thing when selecting.

Whether you want to select a wooden, metal, iron, or other type of bed frame is up to your discretion.

5.1. How do You Determine the Right Bed Frame Size?

You must check your comfort on a particular bed frame size for this. You might need to measure yourself first or place yourself on the bed frame before deciding which to buy. 

You can purchase it for yourself, depending on how big you’d like your bed frame to be. 

For illustration, some people would like to buy a bed frame that is at least 5 inches longer even after laying comfortably with their legs in the bed. 

Such people should go for a queen-sized bed frame or something similar. 

5.2. How Should a Mattress Fit on a Bed Frame?

Get a measuring tape and measure all sides of the bed frame well; note the measurements once you’ve taken them.

Ensure your mattress is at least an inch to five smaller than the bed frame on all the sides. If this is the case, then you’re all good to go.

6. Where to Buy a Bed Frame

Now that we’ve cleared up all the confusion about choosing a bed frame let’s look at where to buy one. 

Many furniture or home decor showrooms or shops are available in various parts of the globe. We doubt there will be any city where people have difficulty buying furniture.

First, look into your locality to see if bed frames are available according to your liking. We suggest you use the traditional hand-picking method first.

You can shop online once you’ve done so or if you find that none of the bed frames resonate or sit well with you. There are many furniture websites.

However, you must be aware of the possible dupes made by retailers and shopkeepers, research well, and compare prices to find the one that’ll fit your budget perfectly.

When choosing a bed for your kids or guests, take their well-being and their comfort into consideration as well. Recheck if the bed frame’s height, width, colour, and type suit or will suit well.

The bed frame must match the existing bedroom aesthetic. We have provided examples to illustrate this statement.

Ultimately, it is up to you how you want your ideal bed frame.
